Question

My daughter will be 2. 5 in July. She’s always been an early napper as I have an older child to pick up from school at 2:30. Now that it’s summer, it’s time to switch to a new schedule. When do your almost 2. 5 year olds nap?  

Answer 1

Usually around 12 to 2 or 3 p. m.  

Answer 2

Between 1230-1pm and typically sleeps for 1. 5-2 hours.  

Answer 3

1-2:30/3:30 depends on the day and how loud her brother is

Answer 4

I’m a pediatric sleep consultant and owner of The Well Rested Club depending on what time she wakes I would say most my 2/3 year old clients nap best between 12-1. 1:30 is sometimes a sweet spot as well, but it depends on how long she needs to fall asleep.  

Answer 5

Q is all over the place. sometimes she naps at 12, sometimes at 1. we don't let her sleep longer than an hour and a half bc she won't fall asleep at night otherwise

Answer 6

My 2. 5 year old is napping from 1-3 ish or 1:30-3:30, depending on our day.  

Answer 7

Thanks all! We’ll just push it a little later & see how it goes.
